As one of the nations' oldest graduate programs in international affairs and one of the world's leaders in the training of foreign policy professionals, the Committee's students are served well by the institution's continuing dedication to research and rigorous academic standards. The distinguishing feature of our MA program is that it provides students not only with the tools to analyze current events and answer major policy questions but also with a deep theoretical understanding of international relations. CIR students focus their studies around four key areas in International Relations: * International Relations Theory, Security, & History * International Political Economy and Development * Regional Studies and Nationalism * Human Rights, Environment, & International Law In the one year, students take nine graduate level courses, designing their own program in their focus from classes around the University. The CIR class of 55-60 students also congregates in smaller, 20-25 member sections to prepare their M.A. thesis proposal and paper. Many use their study with the Committee on International Relations as a stepping stone for further scholarship at some of the world's most prestigious graduate institutions. A number of CIR alumni have served with distinction on the faculty of colleges, universities and other scholarly academies worldwide. Other CIR graduates have gone on to careers in government or the private sector, working as consultants, in think-tanks, and with elite multinational corporations.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Bachelor's  Pre-Requisite Courses None Required  International Student Requirements TOEFL scores of a minimum of 600 (paper exam) or 250 (computerized exam) with minimum section scores of 60/25, IELTS section scores must be 7 or higher  Requirements Qualifying Exam: GRE Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: No Clinical Internship: No   Work Experience None required.  Volunteer Experience None required.  Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement None required.  Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition: 38502  Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 5821  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 2610  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $1293  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $34920  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
